Re: my teeth look a little crooked?

Well, whether you should be concerned or not, clearly you are. So why

not ask either your surgeon or your ortho, whichever you see first?

I'll bet they can put your fears to rest...

Hi there,

The exact same thing happened to me after surgery - all my top teeth

looked slightly slanted in one direction and one of my front teeth

was even longer than the other! I was worried, too, but after a

while, I realized they were completely aligned, I had just been so

used to them being misasligned that they looked crooked. Anyways,

just wait until your ortho manicures your teeth - they'll look even

better and more perfect than ever and you'll realize everything is

in the right position!
